Title: XJ VM2.5 TD Coolant temp sensor - New or old?!
Post by: CarbonWedge on January 06, 2011, 10:35:26 AM

 :017: Hi all first post, but these forums have been a great help so far! I'ts a 97 XJ with the 2.5 diesel, started to start a bit funny so ran the diagnostics and it came up with a CTS fault.

At some point in the past the heads have been changed to the earlier type, with a two pin sensor, and some wiring made up to link from the engine loom 3 pin connector (for the newer 3pin sensor) to the existing but older 2 pin sensor. I'd like to go back to the 3 pin sensor, so it is the correct one for the engine management, and would like to know if the hole in the head is same size and thread for both sensors? Being about £48 from jeep i'd rather not buy it and realise its wrong!

Cheers

Paul

Especially oil burners :hysterical:


Not sure if they are the same or not - but did you run diagnostics on the Bosch engine management system or the OBD11/Jeep one??

For anything to do with the engine you need to ignore the Jeep ECU as it does not look after the engine
